sitting i'll a yard in front of a residence near
the corner OF Twelfth street. Come out o.
that" he called. There was no response, and
the officer ventured near enough to see that
it was Il good-sized man he was talking to,
who held q revolver in his hand. "All right,
you just sit there and Eli call the patrol
wagon. Well see if Il tramp like you is going
to hang around in peoples yards" The
officer stepped to the telephone box at the
corner and sent in a call. A few minutes later
the gray horses, with the patrol wagon at
their heels, dashed up the street. "Now
we'll see who you are continued the officer
PUT down that gun or I'll take it away from
you and make you swallow ii. You'll think
you had better-well, I'll be darned.'' The
policeman Continued his talk until within a
few feet of the silent intruder and, making
sudden grab, found himself grasping suit
of clothes which had been cleverIy stuffed
to resemble human figure. The revolver
was toy pistol tied to the arm. With dis
gusted growl the officer gathered up the man
of straw ana dumped him into the wagon,
with the remark Take it down to the sta
ton with YOU anyway, and put it in the
soup F" AT the lookup the dummy figured
in many practical joke. Lieut.. Col. Lund-

There is something about the s'Irish Pa
troll" as rendered by the DAM orchestra, that
entirely fascinates crowd, as it did at the
Grand last night. The music began away off,
where only the sonorous notes reach the ear.
The fife and drum predominates until, as the
patrol approaches, one instrument makes
itself heard after another, and finally the
music reaches the front and bursts on the ear
with the fare of full band. Then it pauses
and the music comes down and softens grad
ually. Fainter and more faint it comes, and
tn ear is stl aimed to catch the notes, then it
finally passes out of hearing distance 1t is
verJ pretty, but that is not alone what catches
the crowd. AS the music is nearest there is
roll of the drum, and then comes the familiar
air of 'sChippy Get Your Hair CUT Every
body knows it, and after the first note there
is a smile. then comes grin, then laugh
and finally ''wow!' with uproarious ap-
plause.

Officer Ed Grace, who has just been brought
into prominence by the skillful manner in
which he caused the arrest of Finn Dillon,
the woman charged with being proeuress, is
a man somewhat uncommon on the police
force in cities the size of Minneapolis. Dur
ing the Exposition there were a large number
of ssfakirs'' in the city, and because
they had succeeded in closing the mouths
of officers in other cities, they
thought the same plan would work
here. The leader of the gang had reason to
think that Officer Grace was not friendly to
him and to his followers, so meeting him on
Washington avenue one day he pulled a $40
bill from his pocket and handed it to Grace. re-
marking: "Here, take this; guess you don't
want to cause US any trouble, do your" Grace
10 ok the money, looked at it and then at the
man who had given 1t to him. Then he
handed it back. remarking as he did so
ssNow, see here; if you and your gang OF
thieves don't get off of my beat and remain
off, I'll put every mothers son of you in the
lookup Now move, and do il rapidly, too"
The fellow left and few days later made
the remark to friend that he had not met
many men lie Grace, meaning that he had
seldom tried to bride an officer aud failed.
If the man had tried to bribe all the other
officers he would have found them just like
officer Grace.
